Learn to Use Color

The Traffic Cone Color Theory Workbook teaches you how to truly see value and color and how to apply core color theory principles to paint brighter, more realistic work.

Why a traffic cone? Because it's one of the most intensely saturated, high-value objects you'll find. If you can learn to paint one convincingly, you can paint almost anything with confidence.

Clouds are a perfect subject for learning gouache because they ask you to balance control with softness. This guide breaks the process down into approachable steps so you can experiment, practice, and bring everything together in a finished cloud study.

When I worked as an illustrator, I learned pretty quickly that deadlines do not always wait for inspiration. When I needed a strong idea and the blank page was not helping, I relied on a handful of brainstorming methods to keep moving.

In this guide, I share some of those approaches to help you generate more possibilities, make unexpected connections, and move beyond your first obvious idea.

Build Better Habits

This practical guide shares ten simple shifts that can help you become more intentional in the studio, make stronger decisions while you work, and learn more from the paintings you create.

Rather than focusing on one medium or technique, it looks at the habits and thought processes that can quietly make a big difference over time. You’ll find ideas to help you work with more clarity, follow through on your paintings, and better understand what is working and what is not.

It’s designed to give you a fresh perspective on your creative practice and a few useful things to try the next time you sit down to make art.
